As part of Culture Moves Europe, artists and cultural professionals, both individuals and groups of up to five people, can undertake a stay abroad and apply for EU funding. Grants are awarded in the form of fixed lump sums and daily allowances.
Projects must take place in collaboration with an international partner in a Creative Europe participating country. An invitation from the partner is required.
The stay abroad can be used for research and concept development, an artist residency, professional development or expanding professional networks.
The programme covers architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literature, music, performing arts and visual arts, and is open to all countries and overseas territories participating in Creative Europe Culture.
